Abstract / scope
ISO/TS 29002-6:2010 specifies a conceptual information model and an exchange file format for terminology information from a concept dictionary. The conceptual model is in Unified Modeling Language (UML). The physical file format is based on Extensible Markup Language (XML).
The XML structures defined in ISO/TS 29002-6:2010 are intended to be returned by calls to the Terminology Service defined in ISO/TS 29002-20. The Terminology Service is an interface for retrieving terminological information about a concept from a concept dictionary.
ISO/TS 29002-6:2010 was developed as a common resource to provide a level of interoperability between implementations of ISO 13584 and ISO 22745 for exchange of information from a concept dictionary. Its use is not restricted to these standards, however. It can be restricted through implementation profiles by standards that reference it. It can also be implemented without restriction.
